This is the fifth sermon in our series on The Parables of Jesus. Parables are stories or sayings Jesus used to illustrate a point about himself, us, and/or his kingdom and to provoke a response from the hearer. They were instrumental in his ministry and are important for us today. In this message, Pastor Aaron Shamp teaches us about the parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector using Luke 18:9-14.
